“Is this thing on?” Mononoke’s face gets very close to the camera.
“Saint Rebecca, I was told you were the expert on this video thing, is
it on?”
Saint Rebecca runs off yelling “ThorFrid!!! Why are you telling people I know how to work a camera?!?”
“Ok, so I gunna start- hopefully not wastin’ time here. I be tellin’
y’all ’bout what happened, least what my eyes seen and my ears heard.”
Mononoke’s face gets serious, and she seems to settle hard into in the
chair. “I is gonna try to speak less like a Texan, but some stuff
gonna, I mean going to, sneak in. We were outside of WillieGregsburg in
what used to be called China to try to acquire the Dragon’s Pearl, the
latest item on the Merlin list of Free Merlin. I am told that this has
been relayed to y’all at hq, right?” We were all hanging out on the
R-Dog (for repair) which we had settled down for the ground.
“Hey
Girlie, got some Bailey’s?” said someone behind ThorFrid, and we met
Old Gregg. I would describe, but instead holding up a picture, as words
cannot describe this. (Mononoke holds up a picture).
“You were asking about the Big Willie? He stole my Bailey’s and my
shoes,” said Old Gregg. ThorFrid and Gregg went back and forth for a
while, since “Crazy knows Crazy” as ThorFrid has said before.
“Oh great priest of Poseidon,” Saint Rebecca interjected, “If you
could help us get to Willie I could make you some shoes.” Rebecca made
a pair of boots and a bottle of Bailey’s , which pleased Old Gregg.
Suddenly Old Gregg just lost it, and tried to jump ThorFrid, taking
off his clothes and baring his……. mangina. No picture, no other words- I
cannot describe, but I will not be wanting to see anyone naked again…..
ThorFrid got a strap on and ….. well, let’s just say that both Old
Gregg and ThorFrid had a great time, and were exhausted.
Lucryllin shouts out, “Nosmo has left the building.” I have never
been so happy to have a distraction. I jumped in Moro and found where
Nosmo was heading. Bena, on the flying Tut, and I, with Lucryllin
joining me inside Moro, went chasing after. Bena caught up first, and
entangled Nosmo to find out what was happening, and why he left without a
word.
Nosmo excitedly exclaimed, “Don’t you see it- it is right there- we
need to go there!” I did not see anything at all. “It’s a dragon
thing.” Bena saw something magic in the distance, and we decided to go
towards it. Nosmo announced that he had found what we were looking for.
Saint Rebecca asked Mono2 to take the R-Dog toward where Nosmo was.
As we all moved up the mountain suddenly missiles came flying at us!
Unfortunately Moro picked this time to have his lasers malfunction, and I
was not able to shoot down any of the missiles aimed at Nosmo. Luckily
a fog bank suddenly appeared and the missiles passed harmlessly above
us. The mountain was a struggle, but Moro picked his way through.
We reach the top, and see a 9 tiered pagoda decorated by many Chinese
dragons. A puzzle becomes apparent, Chiang Ku Dragons with symbols of
earth, water, fire, and metal in different orders gathered in 5 compass
directions. The images gave clues to a combo, to a lock, which we
eventually solve, and retrieve the dragon’s pearl. Nosmo insisted on
keeping the pearl, so he did.
Now that we had the pearl and were heading back to my continent, I
wanted my revenge. The rest of the Irregulars had promised that we
would take care of Falmcrynth, so I argued my case that should be our
next target. Eventually Lucryllin convinces me that we would choose the
closest target, a piece located somewhere near Berklee in the
California islands. So we started off towards that direction.
Unfortunately, Lucryllin decided to inspect things on the R-Dog, and
suddenly the R-Dog had landed on the ice!
Terminators suddenly appeared and began attacking. Nosmo began growing, ThorFrid was shooting, and I hope we will survive.
Mononoke signing off.
She turns off the camera.
